Castello del Buonconsiglio, Trento, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy: some of the bishops of Trento consecrated before 1000 AD. Detail from a fresco by Marchello Fogolino (c. 1484 - 1558) on an external wall of the Castelvecchio, the nucleus of the castle and its most ancient part. The complete fresco, commissioned around 1535 by Barbardo Cles, Prince-Bishop of Trento from 1514 to 1539, depicts a row of pre-1000 AD bishops below Charlemagne or Charles the Great (747 - 814). Castello del Buonconsiglio, originally designed for military and defensive purposes, was the residence of the Prince-Bishops of Trento from the second half of the 1200s up to secularisation of the Principality in 1803. The Castelvecchio dates back to the beginning of the 1200s. Marchello Fogolino (also Fagolino and Figolino) was a Venetian painter and draughtsman, first recorded working in 1519 in Vicenza where he was a pupil of Montagna. He was exiled from Venetian territory in 1526 after a murder charge and was last recorded in Trento in 1548.
